Some 10 people are dead after at least one explosion rocked the center of the Syrian capital Damascus. The attack took place during the visit of international peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.

A taxi rigged with explosives blew up outside a police station in the Syrian capital Sunday, killing at least 13 people even as the U.N. envoy to the nation's crisis was visiting Damascus to push his call for a cease-fire. (Oct. 21)
